Omotola Jolade, Nollywood actress and one of TIMES’ 2013 most influential personality in the world talks politics and the value of a Nigerian life.
In her tweets, the actress addressed health issues facing Nigerians, especially its women and the rate of maternal death. She also tweeted about public servants who swear to work for the citizens and end up working for themselves immediately they are sworn into power. She also had a word for Nigerian citizens who sit and do nothing about the situation.
“Hmmm…. I keep asking. What is the Value of a Nigerian Life. What is the primary JOB of a Government?”, she tweeted. SHAME on Humans who pledge to serve fellow humans,get in2 POWER n ignore their DUTIES, intimidate d citizens,becomn headboys of local schools”, she continued.
On health benefits and how Nigerians worship money, she tweeted, “Are Nigerians ENTITLED to health care benefits?what’s the way forward from maternal mortality for a start? Cc: @amnesty @AmnestyOnline.” “SHAME on those who worship money forget their silent heroes n suck up to corrupt leaders n sell their voice!SHAME on you who ONLY talks too.”
She end by shaming those who will see her message and do nothing because of fear. “And finally SHAME on U who sees this message and your conscience Hunts but are afraid to RT because your VOICE has been BOUGHT. I’m out ,” she wrote.
